When Inspiration Hits, It Hits.
[Take Me Back]
Your expectations used to be higher
and that's when i came along,
now that I'm gone you've settled for less
and stuck in a situation you don't belong.
you can't love her like you loved me
i can see it in your eyes,
your body language says it all
once i left love for you completely died.
Maybe i made a mistake in leaving
but i wanted to explore the world,
but I've come to realize that
you are the perfect match for this girl....
so please... leave her and take me back.
I know it's you calling me
at 3am every other day,
I answer then you hang up do you
need to hear my voice to make your night okay?
Your absence is the fire that
constantly burns my soul,
without your kiss for hydration
it burns right through and leaves a hole.
But maybe i made a mistake in leaving
but i wanted to explore the world,
but I've come to realize that
you are the perfect match for this girl....
so please... leave her and take me back.

[It's Pain]
It's hard to remember a time,
back when you were only mine.
Cause it's so far into the past,
time didn't let the memories last.
Although the skies are blue they seem Grey,
just like the day we went our separate ways.
The sun don't shine the same,
the rain falls and thunder screams my name.
I can't get away from the rain though,
when will i be able to see my rainbow?
Misery don't even want my company,
there's no definition to describe this pain in me.
A lil depressing? Ha. It has nothing to do with me though. Actually, nothing to do wiff anybody really. I just wrote them to write it :D

Words Of The Mind
"its hard to speak, when no one is willing to listen. your voice is left unheard and your mind is left full of thought. bottled up inside, with the urgent need for a bit of acknowledgment. is it hard to understand the innocent thoughts that a mind so young still seeks answers to? the flesh ages but the soul still lingers in those years where complex thoughts never streamed the mind and overpowered every emotion ever possible to exist?
is it possible that one is so oddly unique that others may find it hard to even stand their existence? to be able to feel ones emotions times those you are already feeling, to give you an overwhelming sense of supernatural ability. the thought of non-existing becomes more complex, knowing you only rid your body, not soul.
your passion becomes your fear, as others pull you down from the place you’ve set your heart in. how can one put more faith in those who have no faith in them, yet the faith in themselves has diminished? is it hard to fathom that one can play a part in any role that is not their own and fool any being into believing its original. The art of life smears onto the pages of a book still unwritten. The heart that beats as time goes on, becomes obsolete allowing mind to take over. Trust it, trust the heart and let it guide you to your destiny."
YAY! Ok ttyl. Thanks for reading, thanks for caring.

My Angel On Earth <3
I just found the poem i wrote for her 3 years ago as well (gahh i was 16yrs old LOL) for her birthday and it goes:
On a late September morn,
A precious little child was born.
Brought love and joy into this world,
So much love for that little girl.
She flourished into who she’ll become,
The Lord made her a special one.
The pain and hard times she made it through,
Trusted in God when she didn’t know what to do.
Smiling through a million tears,
Learned to get rid of all her fears.
One sweet day she was filled with joy,
When the Lord gave her a precious baby boy.
She found peace in the words of a soul,
Which comforted her and made her whole.
In my heart specials ones a very few,
My love for her will always be true.
Till this day she is still so blessed
To have family and friends who wish her the best.
Enjoy this day of happiness and fun,
Happy Birthday my Angel there’s many more to come.
OMG that made me tear up! I've know this girl for only a little bit over 3 years now but it seems like FOREVER! She has been through EVERYTHING with me, and believe it or not, we've only met in person ONCE! Let me tell you out story:
We met each other through Myspace.com due to the fact that we both loved (and still very much do) Mariah Carey. We talked online for a bit, then thru phone until we were talking for HOURS on end... YES we even talked for 10 hours straight one night. The first time we met in PERSON was in June of 08. Through everything she had going on, she made the sweet sacrifice to fly out here from Missouri just to come to my high school graduation. A special day indeed. We spent that whole week together! We went to the beach and tried to make the best of it! It was AMAY-ZING! Haven't seen her in person since then but we still talk NON stop and that gurl knows like everything about me! everything! and she is 13 years OLDER than me (sorry hun LOL) but she is a kid at heart! (an adult when she has to be, c'mon she has a son! hehe)
She understands me. answers her phone @ 4am if i NEED someone to talk to (no one else does that for me) I can call her crying and she knows just what to say. She can make me laugh like NO OTHER! We have 984783924712 trillion inside jokes, we can act absolutely dumb and still understand each other (that's normal for us lol). Only God only knows why he allowed us to meet when we did and i will never ever question that. No it has not ALWAYS been rainbows and gummydrops, we HAVE had our differences and our arguments BUT WHY dwell on that or even bring it up? It's in the past! Danielle is ONE my BEST friends, no doubt. For those of you who have BEST friends, you know how AMAY-ZING it feels to have one. No matter how you've met, how you communicate, it's all about the love in your heart for each other!
I was supposed to be with her in St. Louis right now celebrating her bday but things didn't work out according to plan =[ BUT i will be there sooner or later! hopefully sooner! I miss her SOOOO much! She don't even know and i surely hope this day is going fabulous for her! I wish her nothing but the best, best, BEST! I LOOOOOOOVEEEEEEEEE you!! With ALLL my heart! Stay strong! Remember, Jesus LOVES you too ;] Once again, HAPPY BIRFFDAY Danielle! <33
-Love Always, Ashleyy .

Love Song...
I REALLY hope you like it !! 2 ppl already do! Nickerz included! I didn't really think of a title tho =/
You told me in your sleep
“you’re the one I want for me”
But when you’re awake
I know there’s another that you see.
I wanted to be your one and only
Was that too much to ask?
You promised from the start
You’d make our relationship last.
You’ve made my heart too fragile
I don’t trust it in near you anymore
Cause when I did you simply
Left if for dead on the floor.
I wish you would tell me
What I fear the most to hear
Say it till it’s sunk in
Until I cry my last tear.
You first kissed me in the summer
At the park in the rain
Now our last kiss was in the fall
Still feel the tingle in my veins.
Baby I’ll still miss you
Even though you did me wrong
I couldn’t finish the words I had
Written for our love song…
*MUAH* i absolutely LOVE writing ! <3
Love always, Ashh !
Words Spoken From My Heart...
PS. I start crying and all of a sudden it starts pouring outside... what are the chances!
So here are a few.. just for now...
“A.B.O.R.T.I.O.N”
You can’t make a mistake
And make others pay the price,
That’s why when you’re out having fun
Make sure you think things twice.
How would you be able to let someone
Go and cut your baby apart?
Do you think that someone like that
Has a loving and caring heart?
Didn’t think so.
So why are you on that hospital bed?
You know there’s a million thoughts
Running through your head.
Should you proceed or should you stop?
Do you think what you are doing is right?
If you go through with it
Tell me how will you be able to sleep at night?
Mistakes happen
Some actions come with consequences
You should have known by now
Because if you can acknowledge what you did
Then there is no need to ask me how.
Killing a child losing a soul
That God put inside of you
Makes one less in this world
That could have started something new.
A life with a purpose
Thrown into the depths of the ocean
All because you decided to give up
And have an abortion.
-wrote this for my creative writing class bout 2 years ago.. like outta no where.. but it's a subject i am strongly against so it inspired me to write about it =]
“Dear Mr. President”
Dear Mr. President
How are you today?
Are you aware that in your hands
People are dying everyday.
Dear Mr. President
How’s your family?
Why are they not out there fighting
With the U.S. Army?
Dear Mr. President
Did you enjoy your meal?
People are starving
Guess you don’t know how that feels.
Dear Mr. President
What is on your mind
When you wake up?
I bet that homeless guy is thinking
Please don’t steal my cup.
Dear Mr. President
What was your strategy?
To brain wash Americans into
Thinking they soon will be free?
Dear Mr. President
Oh how I’m glad
you’ll soon be gone
Someone will take your place
Thank God what took so long?
Dear Mr. President
Unlike me I hope
You have a very good day
I think I’ve spoke my mind
And said all I wanted to say.
- i've never really liked Former President Bush.. i don't know why. I found him as kinda a joke? idk. everyone is entitled to their opinion...
"MLK"
Back in the day
The world was duplicated,
a school for white, a school for blacks
It made life so complicated.
No two colors were allowed to mix
The world was divided by two races,
Segregation and prejudice
Against the same familiar faces.
Then a wise man came
And told the world his dream,
Of how he knew everything would change
Some agreed, others didn’t believe.
After his long and meaningful speech
This man was shot to death,
What he didn’t know was that the world was going to change
After his very last breath.
Since that day
The world hasn’t been the same,
Blacks and whites are now together
And are all recognized under one name.
Americans, Americans
Is what we all are,
And little did we know
That his big dream would come this far.
Now today we recognize his achievement
And he remains in our heats,
Cuz Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. brought together
What was once forced apart.
- I wrote this when i was like 15? in english class.. for a contest that i never got the chance to enter...
“I Still Believe”
When it was dark
And I couldn’t find the light of day,
You would always shine your
Brightest light my way.
Late at night when I’d cry
I somehow knew you were by my side,
And when I felt your presence in the room
I knew everything would be alright.
It may have been hard for me to see
All the blessings that you have given me
When I was lost and hidden in the dark
I found your light and you found my heart
After all of this I know
I still believe.
- written at around 14 yrs old? i think.. i was going through A LOT and this kinda eased my heart and soul a bit =]
OKAY, that's enough for now =] I have SOOOO much more but in the meanie time, i'm gonna go and think about life ... *sigh* Hope you enjoyed them !!!
P.S- I MISS MY Y5 GIRLS!! <3
<3 always, Ashh

A Day In The Life Of A Zombie =P
Hi guys! Sorry, but i had to write that. It came out outta nowhere just now when i started typing this. Not exactly sure what it means quite yet.. but save that for another day.
VENTING!
Today was an incredible long day! I went to sleep at around 630AM and woke up @ almost 9AM to be at work by 930AM =| NOT a smart move. Yep it's official. Last 4 days, i have only slept about 15 hours or so. In TOTAL! Why? Don't ask. Just know it was worth it! Got to work a tad bit late.. THEN i had absolutely NO energy left in my body. None! With all the morning paperwork i have to do and crunching numbers and counting registers .. ugh, days like these where being an Assistant Manager sucks BIG fat baby carrots!! So once i was done with all that mess, i LITERALLY grabbed a chair and sat behind the counter and dozed off until i heard that "dingdong" sound when someone walks into the store and i was like =| and got up to see who it was, sat back down. THANK GOD there are NO cameras in our store. I spent most of the time IMing Cory thru my phone and tweeting and stuff to keep me from falling asleep. YUS! it was THAT bad. Mind you, we sell candy at our clothes store. ---> -_- <--- yeah i know... so yeah we sell candy and its SUPER expensive.. there was this lady who wanted to buy a ringpop for her son.. JUST that. I was WAYY too comfy on my chair. So i go "umm, that candy is VERY expensive!" lady goes "how much?" i go "fie dollahs" ($5) and she was like :| , put it down and walked away! In reality, the ringpop she wanted costs $2.69 @ out store. STILL hella expensive.. but there was NO way in hell i was getting up just for that! ha! I called one of my co-workers pick up some KFC for me before she came in... well, she came in, with NO food -___- so she left again and got me the WRONG thing. So yeah, whatever i ended up stuffing my face .. while IMing Miles i think ... telling her my ringpop story bahaha! Had to take out the new shipment of clothes we got. ALL sweaters! Seriously. WHOOOO wears sweaters... in MIAMI! Where it's like 80 degrees on a Christmas morning. I have to admit tho, they ARE cute, but get real >.>
Apparently i was annoying my co-worker cause i lowered the store music and started playing the songs on my BB.. i was singing along to Ferras, Jay Z, Miley, Demi, Mariah, etc ... SOO loud! But i was deeeleeeriiiooussss !!! and in no motivation to work! SOOOOO yeah i was there till like 6ish even tho i was supposed to leave @ 530PM.. i actually clocked out and sat in the back! i wasn't even in the mood to DRIVE! lol... whatever i left! went to Best Buy, then to Wallymart =P THEN homeee at like 8pm? DD: and here i'm isss !
Gahh that was my day ! I'll be back laters to tweet more cause i KNOW i have wayyy to much to say ! =] LOVEE YA'll ! SOWWY if i bored ya'll to death LOL!
<33 Ashh
Exhausted
I've always been an insomniac or nocturnal as you'd call it but damn never went soooo long with such little sleep and its really getting to me. I'm like drained to the max. I would soo fall asleep in the store now. We have no cameras (hence why I'm sitting in a chair writing this!). And nobody entiring the store means no action or movement whcI need to dedicate an ENTIRE day of sleeping !!! Maybe Friday :)
Ughh u just don't know how amay-zing these girls are! Like I've known Miley for a few months (personally), Lanie for a few weeks and Cory for about a week give or take and OMG I feel like I've known them foirever!! No joke! I can talk to them about anything, non stop (hence the alll nighters) lol!! And I appreciate them soo much ! We are Y5 aka CLAMP ! For those of u that don't know, CLAMP = Cory Lanie Ashley Miley Paige and Y5 is all our 5 Y's changing 2 to Paigeyy and Lawnyy hehe ! The best!! <33 But that's our thing!
I also run theheartofmiley on twitter! For those of ya'll that didn't know !!! So check up on that one !! And of course, if I personally know you, add my personal one... @ashley_831 hehe.
Gahh I just rambled! But it was good! I'm waiting for my co_worker to bring me BK!! Whoo haven't had fast food in MONTHS!! I was tryna eat healthy but umm =| I'm human lol. So anyhow, thanks guys for reading ! Ya'll rock!! :)

I Still Live With The Side Effects
So im back to this place called home. I really can't stand my mother. She is driving me to the point of insanity. So manipulative. All she is after is the money i DON'T have. WTF. Ugh i can't even blog about it cause it makes me mad. I'm pretty sure im gonna be in my room for the majority of the time. I have no intention of seeing anyone here. I miss my friends in Buffalo! I wish i was living up there. Everything was so
carefree. I need a plan. A plan for my life.
*sigh* So i was just about to cry and my mother knocks on the door to show me a singing snowman on a piano. wtf. That shit is not even cute! Why can't i ever be happy? Like seriously if i did something to deserve all this then let me know what it was so i can freaking repent! It's just not fair. Not fair for anyone and it sucks.
I need a job. I cannot be without a job. I can't be stuck in this house forever. Plus i got bills to pay. *sigh* there is not much else i can say or do. Just wait patiently.

A Series Of Unfortunate Events
But anyhow, enough venting. I enjoyed my week in Buffalo. It was A LOT of fun. I saw people i hadn't seen in years and i'm so happy that i did. I think one of the best parts of my trip was yesterday when i went to my elementary/middle school to visit. I could not believe how that place has changed in the 5 years since i graduated from there. Some of the same teachers are still there. Most put a smile on my face. I got to spend part of the day with Lilliam and the other part with Janice. Two old friends of mine, now with children lol.
I'm kinda sad that i had to leave but at the same time im not. When i said bye to Brittney i hugged her like 12 times lol. I love that girl sooo much and imma miss her terribly even though i know we'll be in contact almost everyday. I had sooo much fun with her and had my first drunken experience with her lmaoo. "Memories". I can't wait till she comes down to Miami in the summer. I really hope that she does cause that would be a blast.
So as i wait for this next flight of mine i am just going to be here, killing precious time. I'm actually in no kind of hurry to get back to that Miami heat (not the team) lol. IDK exactly what i'll be doing once im there since i have no job but i will try to make good use of the time and go job hunting again. Oy.
Wish me a safe trip (even though i know it will be a safe one) and i'll blog for ya lataaaaa. ;) <3 Ashh
